Claim
Without naming Akhilesh, Yogi Adityanath said that people who once had lathis and bullets used against those chanting Jai Shri Ram are now claiming faith is being toyed with.
“योगी आदित्यनाथ ने अखिलेश का नाम लिए बिना कहा कि जो लोग कभी जय श्री राम बोलने पर लाठियां गोलियां चलवाते थे वो कह रहे हैं कि आस्था के साथ खिलवाड़ हो रहा है”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion: without naming Akhilesh, Yogi said those who once had lathis/bullets used against Ram devotees (Jai Shri Ram chanters) now complain faith is being toyed with. Supported — in the donation/aastha row Yogi accused the SP government of firing on Ram devotees while framing it indirectly ('your government'); the taunt ties the SP's current 'faith being toyed with' attack to its own past firing. No stated sub-detail contradicted; slightly lower confidence as the exact 'aastha khilwad' pairing was paraphrased rather than quoted verbatim.
